Phoenix Coffee Company

My favorite coffee! Always quality and very reasonable prices. Love the vibe of this new shop. They renovated the space really well while still keeping some historic features. It’s bright and clean. The baristas are so friendly as well. Parking is easy and free.

New, vibrant location of Phoenix located in Lakewood. The storefront is small and modest, but the inside is bright, inviting, and contains a fair amount of seating for solo or double visitors. A larger couch space with small table is also along the back. You’ll find the usual Phoenix cafe drinks, some local pastries and bagels, and like more and more of their locations, some plants from Sixth City Cycles on display. Currently there isn’t much merch for sale and only a small selection of whole beans located in the back near the plant shelf, but room to expand in the future.

This part of Lakewood isn’t as busy as Detroit Ave yet, and you can usually find some free street parking along the side streets. Or just pay for the meters on Madison Ave.

Business was pretty slow on a weekday when I was there, but the two staff members were very friendly and also got along nicely with the various vendors and regulars who stopped by. Great Wi-Fi and good positioning of outlets for those who need to work. The baristas are also in charge of music selection - the soundtrack was eclectic but tasteful, ranging from old school hip hop to trance. There’s a vinyl player in the back and lots of posters for local performers, so clearly they have an appreciation for good beats.

An unmarked door at the end of the barista counter with a piece of masking tape reading “Restroom” will lead to a gender-neutral bathroom. It’s spacious and kept clean. Just don’t forget to lock the door on your way in!

The coffee shop itself is small and cute, employees are friendly, and the coffee is delicious! They have the best espresso I've had in a long time and the Lavender Bergamot Tea Latte is one of my favorite drinks ever. This is definitely a great addition to Birdtown!

Good iced vanilla latte! Looks like some delicious pastries to eat as well. Simple, yet delightful menu options. Very cute and hip atmosphere.

My mocha coffee was absolutely disgusting. It tasted like hot dog water with coffee grounds and a hint of chocolate. I do not recommend waste of $5 rather get coffee from a gas station.

Cozy coffee shop with reasonable prices located right around the corner from high hopes barber studio!
